Liquid Fuel Versus Coal.

The experiment tried on ferry boats plying
between San Francisco and Oakland, with
burning petroleum, has not, it appears,
proven an cntiro success. AS regards econ
omy, the experiment proved petroleum to DO
chcaperthan solid fuel. But a drawback to its
use came from the intense heat produced, by
which, or by tho peculiar nature of the COM
bustion, the iron of both the furnaces and
boilers, began to indicate rapid deterioration.
After several months trial, owing to this de-
tcr'ioration, the boats were again fitted up for
burning coal.

Treatment of the Feet.

If the feet arc tender or painful after long
walking or standing, great relief can BIO had
by bathing them i'll salt and water. A hand
full of salt to a gallon of water is tho right
proportion. Have the water as hot rs can
comfortably be borne. Immense tho feet, and
throw the water over the legs us far as tho
knees with the hands. When the water be-
ON too cool, rub brislily with flesh towel.
This method, if used night and morning,
will cure neuralgia of tho feet.

TASTEFUL DESIGN FOR FLOWER GARDEN.

TASTEFUL DESIGN o FLOWER GARDEN.
The next consideration is the plan or
design by which the flower beds and the
intervening walks shall be laid out. 1t is
not we'll for the amateur to undertake
anything intricate in this line. Consider
able experience is required to produce II
plan by which entirely pleasing results
are obtained. The accompanying cut is
advised by The New York World as one
of the simplest, and at the same time
most pleasing and graceful. arrangements
for n flower garden of ordinary dimen-
Eions. Where the plot is long and some
what narrow this design is easily made us
q parallclogram; where the plot is n
square it is as readily adapted to that.
The SIZE of the beds will vary with the
size of the plot of ground, and when large
will afford quite as much opportunity for
q skillful massing and combining of diff
fcrcnt varieties of plants as most readers
desire. The paths about the beds should
be kept clean, firm and compact, and the
beds, for best effect, ought to be soddcd
on the edges. 1t should be remembered
to use low growing plants in beds nearest
the house and paths and to set tall sorts
in the background. In circular beds it is
always best, of course, to place the tallest
growing plants in the center, rs it is i'll all
beds that are viewed from all sides, but a
bed that is only seen from the front, like
u border, having II hedge, or something
like it for a background, should have the
back row of plants the tallest and the front
ones the shortest.
The second cut affords u wide choice in
models for ornamental beds. For Il small
garden Wick recommends cresccnts, stars
and diamonds, rs beds easy to make and
care for, and in his popular monthly gives
some valuable hints for arranging COLI
trasting colors in them as fosows: a
crescent can be edged around with pink
phloX with Il center row of white, and the
effect will be very pleasing. y star or
diamond can be planted with rows of diff
fcrent colored flowers, or can be edged
with one color and the center filled in
with another, in Il mass, rather than in
rows. The phloX and aster are two of our
best ANNALS for this use. a crescent, in
Which the inner curve is fronting the
house, can be made very effective by
planting it to astcrs of different heights.
Use the tall growers for the further edge
of the curve. In front of these plant
some of n contrasting color and lower
growth. Edge the bed in front with
dwarf varieties. Catalogues will tell you
about the habit of zach variety.

OFFICIAL BONDS

The present Legislature seems to be
nearly unanimous in doing away with Of
fetal bonds, both State and county.
The Carson Tribune says: We have had
considerable conversation with lawmak-
ers on the subject and find that it has
been well considered, and that the sys'
tenn of security for proper conduct OF
official services is deemed unnecessary by
right thinking men.
In Ormsby county are some half dozen
men of means, whose names are ap.
pended to every official bond from Con.
stable to State Treasurer, and in the
event of q d~efalcation by any official,
how would the county and State be
benefited? The answer can easily be
guessed at by referring to the Rhoades
affair; that Of n Of Storey county
Treasurers, and also one in this county.
If a man is worthy OF election to an
Office Of trust he requires no bondsmen
for the proper performances Of his duty,
and if he fails. the doors OF the State
Prison are open for his reception and
safe.keeping, and the fact Of his having
security for such performances never has
and never will benefit the State or any
county thereof.
The chances seem favorable for repeal
ing the Official Bond Act, and it is to be
hoped that every legislator will make the
subject his especial study and that in
both Houses the vote to repeal will be
unanimous.
Place a gentleman on his own response
bility upon electing him to a position Of
trust and very seldom will he betray the
confidence reposed in him, but when
wealthy men are appointed as his guardi-
ans the chances are that he may become
somewhat lax in the management Of such
position.

roo MUCH

Last Winter, says the Sacramento
Bee, the Nevada Legislature passed
what is known as the Anti Treating law.
1t prohibited treating in saloons. This
law has been a dead letter from the time
of its passage, and a bill has been framed
for its repeal.
Here is an illustration of the folly OF
enactments that are not supported by
public sentiment. Such measures are
never enforced. They are worse than
useless, for they tend to bring all law
into contempt.
The great lesson for legislators to learn
is to avoid the making of unnecessary
laws. No measure should be enacted
unless there can be shown an absolute
need of it. Nine.tenths of all legislation
is mischievous, and, sooner or later,
needs to be repealed or amended. The
main work of the British Parliament
consists in the reapel Of bad laws. And
the labors Of legislative bodies in the
United States are already largely OF this
character, though this is but a young
country. Legislatures are necessary,
but, aside from the routine work required
of them, they probably do more harm
than good. They make statutory law a
a thing of shreds and patches, in which
no consistency or system can be found
Their sessions are awaited with alarm by
the people, and their adjournment brings
a sigh of relief from everybody. Each
raw youth who is elected a member OF a
Legislature fancies himself a Scion, and
rushes to the Capitol with a gripsack full
of bills. Thus early in the present ses-
sion of our California Legislature there
have been about l5O bills introduced,
and this number will be easily quadrupled
before the session ends. Most OF them
are unnecessary, some are pernicious.
and some the veriest bosh. The few
good bills are in danger of being buried
under the accumulation of rubbish. Hap
PLY, the majority of the bosh bills will
be killed by the committees, or left to
perish of neglect.
